I have another rec. Not Afraid To Keep On Living. I was extremely lucky to be able to read along with this as saxihighlandck was writing. It's her first big bandom story and it pulls you in and delivers one heck of a kick. Please, read the warnings. Then go read and feed, tell her how great she did.

Last night I got my bandom_hc posting date, next Tuesday, one day after my rpf_big_bang posting date. I was highly amused when I saw because I'd been suspecting that would happen for a while.

I don't think I mentioned it on here but I did pick up a prompt at bandom_au, one where Bob is a preschool teacher. My last two stories have been a touch angsty so that seemed like a nice change of pace. Yesterday I started plotting it out in my mind and ended up with a ridiculously large cast of characters and an actual plot that ends up with a fund raising concert that includes Mr Bob coaching his class as they bang out a song on plastic drums and bowls. There's also a dog, hamster, finger painting, necklaces made with pasta, story time, naps and misunderstandings involved. I don't even know myself any more.

In non writing news. Lately my family are having a streak of bad luck health wise. My sister broke her foot, my nanna damaged her knee, Corey's off school with an upset stomach and two night ago Milo went to jump onto the shelf above our bed, fell and scratched all the way down James' face. Which isn't serious as such but he wasn't at all pleased.

Our Sky plus box has been acting up, too. Sky says the only option we have left is to do a total wipe so we've been trying to watch everything left on there. It means I'm losing the show where Corey's class was on tv and all the music shows I tend to watch often. No doubt those will be shown again, but Corey's class, not so much. I'll be so annoyed at Sky if we do this and it doesn't work, but we have to try because right now the only way things will record is if reboot the box before anything that's scheduled to be recorded, which isn't convenient at all.

preschoolteacher!Bob! Sounds interesting! What kind of AU is this gonna be? Like, are you going to turn some of the guys into kids in a wee!bandomboys way, or are you going to keep them all at the same age and have wee!originalcharacters?

Wow, that is a mean streak of bad luck health wise, all right! Are you holding up? *hugs*

It sucks re: losing the show with Corey's class. Can't you ask someone else (like some other parents or his teachers) if they have a copy?

I'm sticking with same age bandom people and oc kids. I'm thinking Panic people will turn up too, as volunteers or work placement from the local college. I haven't really worked out details yet.

I'm fine, thank goodness. Sitting here as Corey's stretched out on the couch under his quilt.

Can't you ask someone else (like some other parents or his teachers) if they have a copy?

The problem is it's from a really long time ago, back when he was in his primary school, so we're talking nearly four years. Still, it's worth exploring.
